‘Virgin River’ Sets Season 5 Release Schedule — What Problems Will Mel & Jack Face? (PHOTOS)

This fall, it’s time to return to Virgin River — and there are going to be holiday episodes!

Netflix has announced that Virgin River Season 5 will be released in two parts: the first 10 episodes on September 7 and the last two (holiday episodes) on November 30. The streaming service has also released photos, which you can check out above and below.

In Season 5, there will be “surprising new relationships, a shocking break-up, a difficult court trial, a heartbreaking goodbye, and a wildfire that threatens the town, bringing some people of Virgin River together while tearing others apart,” according to Netflix.

“Issues of motherhood push Mel [Alexandra Breckenridge] to make a big decision about her future at the clinic while her pregnancy unexpectedly sparks an emotional connection to her past,” the synopsis continues. “To further prove himself to Mel, Jack [Martin Henderson] squares off with some long-overdue confrontations — with his own demons, and of course, Charmaine [Lauren Hammersley]. And as Doc [Tim Matheson] and Hope’s [Annette O’Toole] respective impairments throw their identities into question, the doctor and the mayor must find solace in their community, in their young new family, and in each other.”

Season 4 ended with Mel and Jack engaged, expecting a baby, and finding out Charmaine’s not actually having his twins. “At [that] point, she’s in a really good place besides that sort of needle scratch at the end of the season where Charmaine says she’s been lying to them the entire time. She’s just in this blissful place,” Breckenridge told TV Insider about Mel after the finale in July 2022.

The series was developed by Sue Tenney and based on the books by Robyn Carr. Joining Breckenridge, Henderson, Matheson, and O’Toole as series regulars are Colin Lawrence, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Zibby Allen, Sarah Dugdale, Marco Grazzini, Mark Ghanimé, Kai Bradbury, and Kandyse McClure.

The cast also includes Teryl Rothery, Nicola Cavendish, Gwynyth Walsh, Christina Jastrzembska, Stacey Farber, Jenny Cooper, Lucia Walters, Steve Bacic, Libby Osler, Keith MacKechnie, Barbara Pollard, Trevor Lerner, Ellie Harvie, Darcy Laurie, Sandy Robson, Lexa Doig, Chase Petriw, Emma Oliver, Michelle Addison, Miranda Edwards, and Gabrielle Jacinto.
